Debugging while using VIN or EXT as an external power supply

When powered by VIN or EXT, it is still possible to use the ST-LINK for programming or
debugging only, but it is mandatory to power the board first using VIN or EXT, then to
connect the USB cable to the PC. In this way the enumeration succeeds, thanks to the
external power source.
The following power-sequence procedure must be respected:
1. Connect jumper JP2 between pin 5 and pin 6 for EXT or between pin 3 and pin 4 for
VIN
2. Connect the external power source to VIN or EXT
3. Power on the external power supply 7 V< VIN < 12 V to VIN, or 5 V for EXT
4. Check that the green LED LD5 is turned ON
5. Connect the PC to the USB connector CN1
If this order is not respected, the board may be powered by USB (U5V) first, then by VIN or
EXT as the following risks may be encountered:
1. If more than 300 mA current is needed by the board, the PC may be damaged or the
current supplied can be limited by the PC. As a consequence, the board is not powered
correctly.
2. 300 mA is requested at enumeration so there is risk that the request is rejected and the
enumeration does not succeed if the PC cannot provide such current. Consequently,
the board is not power supplied (LED LD5 remains OFF).
